The most durable yoyos

Basically, what’s a yoyo that’s indestructible? what yoyos have you tried that won’t break no matter what happens?

Realistically, probably a monometal titanium with Ti side effects.
Can tank a hit, wont strip the threads and shouldn’t “break”. Depends on what you are putting the sucker through?
Dont give it the terminator treatment and it should be good. :joy:

I hear the Survivalist by Spinworthy is very tough. @Glenacius_K has some examples, I’m sure.

Got a Henry’s Viper with Cobra wings from the 90s and it’s flown off and hit all sorts of things many times. A quarter century later it’s still fine.

So perhaps non-intuitively, not a metal/alloy very hard with high yield, impact resistance, hardness, etc… The hub certainly with regards to axle threading, but with wings/rims that inherently deform on impact as a crumple zone. Duncan First Yo! would be another example, though the hub is plastic and can be over-tightened. Viper Remix and Rewind Newt as well. Freshly Dirty Mod44 with silicone wings (might be able to cast it).

A theoretical most durable yoyo though…

For a hub perhaps something like maraging steel (350) with heat aging to increase hardness purely to resist thread stripping.

Or bypass the issue entirely with a bolt and nut(s). The bolt would then require high fracturing resistance. That would be maraging steel. The hub or body could then be a titanium alloy to reduce weight since the bolt and nuts would be heavy.

So basically a bolt and nut made of aged maraging steel, hub made of titanium, and wings made of TPU.

54 gen 2 has thick walls and side effects. mine has taken some hits with no noticeable difference in play. also I’ve been playing one of my forma 5a and i sent it rolling into a brick wall 5 times before i was smart enough to move where i was standing and it didn’t even ding, just anno marks. haven’t drilled concrete with it yet but i imagine based on it so far that it will take the hit like a champ

Forma wouldn’t be the first durable Edition:

He ran over it with his truck and it still worked. This is probably actually the most durable yoyo.

My crucial milk has been bonked a billion times and still is somehow smooth

Haha glad to hear its handling being bumped into things!

I test all our releases for bump/ding durability prior to release. It’s big for us to have releases which last the test of time, mechanically, visually and play wise.
